Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce the launch of
Crypto Bar, a new
macOS-only menu-bar application that streams live cryptocurrency prices right at the top of your screen. I built it for traders, investors and power users who want a sleek, no-bloat way to track the market at a glance. The app sits quietly in your menu bar and pushes price updates for your favourite coins via WebSocket – so you’ll always see the latest BTC, ETH, LTC,
etc. without opening a browser. Best of all, Crypto Bar is
free and
open source – no ads, no tracking, just the data you need.
Key Features- Live & Instant Updates – Streams prices from CryptoCompare’s WebSocket API (aggregates most major exchanges). No manual refresh – numbers tick live.
- Custom Watchlist – Track only the coins/pairs you care about (BTC, ETH, SOL, DOGE, even the obscure ones).
- Lightweight Design – Native macOS menu-bar integration with zero clutter or background bloat.
- No Login / No Cloud – 100 % local. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync.
- Open Source & MIT-licensed – Built with Electron + React. Actively maintained, PRs welcome!
Download & SourceCrypto Bar is available
now on GitHub. Grab the latest macOS DMG from the releases page and run it instantly – no App Store needed.

PS: 100 % free, no monetisation. If you like it, please
star the repo and drop feedback. I’m eyeing extras like custom price alerts, P/L tracking, maybe a Linux tray port if there’s demand.
Try it, star it, and let me know what you think!
